coating downrigger weights

[FOUR KINGS]

Does anyone know where to find rubberize coating in black for downrigger weights, in the Buffalo area? How would you also apply it?

Thanks Bill

For what it's worth I ran approx the same thread a few years ago and I did use the rubberized spray paint (got it at Lowes). I cleaned up my weights & removed the oxidizing but that rubberized stuff started to come off at the end of the first season. I wound taking the advice that I got from some of the charter captains (Hank,Rob,etc) and now I just repaint any weights that look like they need it w/ a good quality flat black exterior spray paint in the early spring- sometimes I think simpler is better but you be the judge & good luck! -Andy
